My scented candle doesn't smell when lit.

Is it cos it's cheap - or do you need to leave it burning for ages - I only had it on for about 15mins this morning.

bugger - it smells nice close up - it's freshly washed linen - but only £1.50 from Matalan. Was going to get a couple for Xmas pressies - won't bother now!

The "fresh cotton" Yankee Candle is lovely for that clean smell but they are considerably more than £1.50. Though you can buy it in tea lights etc and they do last long time - don't need to burn it for long as it's got such a strong scent.

try real beeswax ones. they have a very deilcate scent but it does last and they don't cost anywhere near Jo Malone or Diptyque, which are very nice indeed.

Sometimes they smell strongest after you've blown them out don't they?

I like the expensive ones too. Am trying to work out how DH might like to buy me a Diptyque - how you spell? - one as part of a 40th birthday present. He is, quite rightly, highly suspicious of expensive candles. FFS.

The FFS is me chanelling dh.

I love the Yankee Candle ones, i have them burning all the time I didn't know until recently though, that the smell takes about 10 mins to get going.......sad woman that i am i heard that on QVC

mmm - I've had it burning for 20 mins now and it's starting to smell now - hooray. But I am in a fairly small room with it half a metre from me.

I love candlewick greens, especially the wax tarts they scent the whole house
